ILAP Receives Federal Grant to Help Fight Human Trafficking

The Immigration Legal Assistance Program recently received an additional grant to support survivors of human trafficking in Western and Central Massachusetts. This grant is made possible by the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act and Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which seeks prevent human trafficking, prosecute human trafficking cases, and support and protect human trafficking victims and survivors.

Our thanks to the legislators who supported these acts.
